Thousands of blackbirds fall dead from sky

That is one outstanding question. But the primary consideration, presumably, is to determine what contributed to the animal deaths. Confusingly, we already know that most cases, although coincident in a relatively short period of time, have unequivocally different causes. For example, weather, diet and trauma have been indicated as distinct causes.

such an immense string of coincidences happening so coincidentally, would statistically be a lower chance than there only being life on this planet in this galaxy.

that is not one outstanding question - that is the question that needs to be determined before attempting to explain it through anything 'natural'.

if it was anything natural, it should be an occasional occurrence at least, or, smaller cases of this should have occurred, at least regionally, depending on identifiable environmental, climate or atmospheric factors.

but,

a LOT of incidents, happening due to numerous different factors (all of which being supposedly natural - lets say all were natural), at the same small time span, is something close to impossible.

simply - a bunch of birds die due to hypothermia somewhere, just in the same week a bunch of birds die due to a magnetic fluctuation (or whatever), another bunch of birds die due to sound explosion somewhere else, another bunch of crabs die due to some other oceanic condition somewhere, this, that.

now, if ALL was due to cold, or due to, magnetic fluctuation or something, it would be plausible. an encompassing set of conditions would be provided to us to explain it, and they would.

but, all are claimed due to be separate causes.

that is much more impossible than anything else. they just coincided in the past few weeks then is it ?

The popularization, media facility, and sensation seeking also results a snow-ball magnification effect in mass consciousness. People tend to seek out more and more "anomalous" incidents which would have been otherwise labeled as "normal". Confirmation bias always overrules objective investigation. This thread even has a place in "The Harvest" section, which presumably offers at least some pretext.

excuse me but if hundreds of birds started dropping here and there, at ANY given time period/decade it would be magnified.

popularization, media rating seeking is not things that are new to these times. there had been a lot of different stuff that was used to gather attention in this direction, and had there been any kind of such 'impossible coincidences' string, mass media would jump on it like there's no tomorrow.
